Mini Dax Future not working!

[zweistein]

Hello , I have problems using the Mini Dax future FDXM 09-17. My Broker is Iinteractive Brokers. I can trigger trades of DDXM from within NT8, using symbol map DAX|||5 .

But the problem is that trades are not shown in NT8. It seems that NT8 recognises wrongly a FDAX 09-17 future as it gives me also a price of 5/25 of the real price.
remember that 5 and 25 are the multipliers for the FDXM and FDAX futures.

Currently the FDXM contract gives false information in NT8

Please fix

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

There is currently a known limitation with Interactive Brokers in NinjaTrader that only the FDXM or FDAX instrument may be used at one time, and not both at the same time. By default, the FDXM will be disabled. If you would like to use this instead of the FDAX, please use these steps.

From the Control Center, navigate to Tools -> Instruments.
Search for FDXM.
Once found, click FDXM and select "edit".
Scroll down to the Symbol Mapping for Interactive Brokers and delete the "-disabled" part of this Parameter.
Click "OK" to save your changes.
Once this is done, please disable the FDAX instrument.

From the Control Center, navigate to Tools -> Instruments.
Search for FDAX.
Once found, click FDAX and select "edit".
Scroll down to the Symbol Mapping for Interactive Brokers and add in the "-disabled" just after the instrument name. This will look almost exactly like the FDXM instrument did before.
Click "OK" to save your changes.

We look forward to assisting further.
